Hot Pick: Village Creek Festival

How we love Village Creek — what other white, sandy beaches are only a 15-minute drive from Beaumont?

Celebrate the creek this weekend with the Village Creek Fest, featuring standard carnival fare, visits from the Swamp Cuzzins of History Channel’s “Swamp People” and live music from Kate Whitney and the Draw, Slow Rolin’ Lows, Honeybrowne, Justin Judalet, Blue Broussard and more.

If you’d rather do your partying in Orange County, the Mauriceville Crawfish Festival is this weekend, too — you can get info about that at MauricevilleCrawfishFestival.com.
